Lithophane Stand USB Light 180mm

thingiverse

**UPDATE** So mdaneman68 did a lowpro remix of my stand using the right angle usb adapters. Recently I purchased a few adapters from eBay in order to design one myself, however other projects took priority. It turned out the adapters I got were slightly wider than those used by mdaneman68 on Amazon (they feature small bumps along the side of the female half). Instead of remixing my original design, I remixed his by widening it slightly and adding the material-saving oval cutout found in my other designs. I also added a little USB logo for good measure. I've attached a picture of what the usb adapter I used looks like. I've created an updated version, v2, which brings the LED light closer together for those lithophanes with limited height and visible LED poking out above the lithophane. This is as close as I could get before the lighting would produce hotspots and not fully illuminate the entire lithophane using my current USB LED light. Initially, I was looking to use affordable touch USB lights from Amazon for Lithophane lighting. After finding a versatile lighting mount that worked with multiple USB cables and required minimal material, I wanted it to hold larger lithophanes than 150mm. While I like the ToolMoon 180mm stand, those lights are too expensive with shipping and wait times from China. So, I combined the two designs together. To reduce material usage, I also opened up the oval cutout a bit without significantly changing its appearance. Now, I can purchase 10 of these usb lights on Amazon next day for the same price as one ToolMoon light and use my extra USB cables at home...hopefully this helps someone else out! I printed it in PLA with around 20% infill, whatever works best for you. You can refer to the ToolMoon thing (attached via the remix sources) to get the exact lithophane settings, but like I mentioned before, its 180mm.
